Subject:145 vs. 860 leslies

Hello everybody and Happy New Year!
Well, I've come to the realization that I just can't take it anymore. I've
been playing a v-5 thru a motion sound kbr-m, I have a rotosphere for the
studio, but for live gigs a leslie is calling my name(has been for years and
I've been in denial) I have the opportunity to either get a 145(which I think
I'm leaning more towards) or the 860 which is a 2 speed tolex covered solid
state leslie that's smaller and would be more portable. they're within a few
hundred bucks of each other,so it's the sound that I'm after as the money is
close enough to be a wash. Anyone out there have any experience between these
two thangs. I'm playing in a blues-rock band,gigging 3-5 times a month. We
have our own p.a. so I'm not too concerned about miking it and what not.
Thanks in advance-
Bill
